Attack the Basket

My goal today was to attack the rim in basketball. So I did that.

Normally I try to score from the perimeter instead of getting into the paint because there's usually some taller guys there that block my shots. Then I realized one thing, that was okay. I do not need to fear them because a blocked shot isn't the end of the world. Instead of settling for the harder shot from outside, I need to get inside and force the defender to make a play. If he is going to block my shot, I can make him pay by dishing it off to a teammate at the last second.

Basically, my mentality was prove me wrong. I'm going to take a better shot and make it until you prove me wrong. Lately, I've been thinking about the future and what it means to pursue a passion. I really do admire when people put it all on the line. Sometimes we think it to be reckless without a "back up" plan, there is a trait to be admired when someone says "Back up plan? What for? This is what I'm going to do an I'm going to succeed and if I don't at least I spent my time going after what I wanted."

I've had this mentality of somehow I had to prove the world wrong. That an average person like myself could attain success at the highest levels. Not only survive through life but flourish. Upon reevaluation, maybe I need to start thinking that the world needs to prove me wrong. I'm going to do what I'm going to do until proven otherwise. This is all blog, I need to put this into action.
